QUOTE(jc914 @ Nov 24 2008, 09:48 PM)  Does any one knows if this really affects the oil cooling. look two posts up. No it should not effect your oil temperature but will effect altenator temperature. Yes you should replace the boot when you can(rubber boot has shrunk and hardened). Don't sweat it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Steve |

Thanks Steve
I just ordered from egauges the VDO CHT and the VDO Oil Pressure guage with the dual sensor. I also installed a digital thermostat that gives me both the engine bay ambient temperature, and my cabin temperature, and bonus clock. Once i start my install may be this weekend i will post pictures and my result of my CHT temp. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) I have been reading about the VDO CHT and that they are set to 70 degrees ambient temperature. My question is in some posts they say you have to you use the ambient temperature where the gauge is located others say the temperature of the sending wire. which one temp do i use. ?????????????????????? |

My understanding is gauge ambient temp. on the VDO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) This is why with A/C and plus 90F ambients, I did not use the VDO. Steve |

Thanks Again Steve. That was also my understanding
Just read the review at this http://www.ratwell.com/technical/VDOGauges.html the temp to be used is at the junction b/w the sender and the wire going to the gauge. Makes sense |

I got my gauges (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I will install next weekend. I have also decide to replace the oil again b/c after reading some post I realized that the oil I used Castrol GTX high millage is not good. I went to pepboys and got some Royal Purple (from what I have read second best too Brad Penn oil). Next time I do an oil change I am going with Brad Penn.

I think my install came out Great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) I have not connected the gauges to the senders yet. I am waiting to do a full tune up and then i will connect them. Last week I changed my oil to Royal purple from Castrol high millage gtx and I added to much. My nine year old push rod leak really leaked on me. I got under the car played with the push rod and now it has gone back to its normal leaking......
